Tom Dwan - the missing man
How convenient is it that he just falls off the face of the earth after issuing and bailing half way through a 50k hand challenge when he goes down over a million dollars?
He come out a year or so ago and said that he has this "big" problem with FTP that he would address once he had a decent nights sleep, what ever happened here?
He agreed to pay penalties on a monthly basis for not playing an agreed amount of hands with jungle, did cates ever receive any of the penalty money? I think it's about time the community got some answers. There was a lot of money placed on the outcome of the match which never got resolved, as you can imagine anyone who took jungle's side must be pretty aggrieved.
Ike and Justin bonomo was both judges along with Ivey being escrow, from what I remember Ivey wanted nothing to do with any of the decision making after dwan went AWOL which lead to phil sending jungle his 500k back. What's the point of having judges in any bet if they can't actually enforce any rulings?
If anyone else had bailed on a bet of this size when he should have escrowed the 1.5million it would be a much bigger deal.
To add to that he's listed to play in the 500k super high roller at the aria
Tom is locked in some dude's basement. I refuse to believe any other timeline.
Yea this. Dwan probably has access to a lot of cash and pretty high class amenities even if his personal real bank account is at 0 through his contacts and the people who would like to stake him.
The dude has been living in a fantasy reality since he dropped out of college.

Tom with Chicago Joey for those who missed it.
He says an interesting point @ the v v end.
To paraphrase: it's really dangerous if you have a thought in your head or a theory. You're acting on the thought or idea. And refuse to change it inspite of contradictory evidence or hold on to it for far longer than is healthy.
I think there's an extremely pertinent lesson in there.

Whats the odds that this is poker or craps? 50/50?
I'm not quite sure what you're saying so if you can elaborate on the point...
Look at the bit of advice as it relates to me:
I've been lurking, learning poker for almost 15 years
For whatever reason I haven't barely played a hand of poker, I definitely am not a winner from the game if you look @ how much time I've committed to listening to poker content or spent $ on poker training.
However...
I feel ready that my poker career is about take off/my poker playing skill is about to shoot up exponentially.
But what's changed?
I'm the same guy I was 10 years ago. I have the same iq level.
Somewhere in my thought process I must have had a thought or theory that was preventing me playing/winning/thinking correctly at the tables.
Now I no longer think like that.

This is another good durrrr interview with Bart Hanson from many years ago that may illustrate the point.
He understands poker to a v good level as you can hear.
He offered jungleman 3:1 for a hu challenge.
He was getting smashed.
What was going through Tom's mind on a hand by hand basis ie when he's sat @ his computer, logged in to full tilt and session after session jungle is getting the better of him?
At 3:1 odds surely he couldn't have been thinking this is a good bet? I am making good decisions? At 1:1???
